There is a growing conversation in our society regarding the church in terms of what it should look like with respect to our changing culture. This conversation has included differing ideas which have come to be identified by the terms “the emerging church”, “the emergent church”, “house churches”, etc. To someone unfamiliar with the conversation the terms are confusing. But the questions that each wrestles with are questions that we should all wrestle with so I’ve posted some videos below that I hope spurs a healthy discussion. My only request is that your comments be respectful and helpful. After all, we’re “members one of another.” So, watch and share what you think!

The speaker in the videos is a pastor in Seattle, Washington of a church named Mars Hill. His name is Mark Driscoll and his experience gives him valuable insight to the conversation.

The second video expands on the ideas hinted in the first video.
